Another essential metal is that of tungsten ore and concentrates. and I note the Tariff Commission comment is thatDeposits in China are of much higher grade than in the United States. Bolivia and Burma are minor sources of highgrade ore. I do not quite fathom why the Tariff Commission. in fairness to itself and to the Senate. fails in this case. as in so many others. to note that the real advantage possessed in the Asiatic countries over labor costs of our own country is that the wages paid to the labor of the Orient would not be tolerated by labor in our own country. The next item is that of woven wire cloth. and the comment of the Tariff Commission. of interest to those dependent upon this industry in our own country. is in part as follows: Fineness and extreme uniformity of mesh require weaving the finer meshes on hand looms. giving European producers an advantage on account of high proportion of labor used and availability of smallshop methods. Another item is that of watch movements and watch parts.
